Product Description

The ideal comedy for any night is Uptown Saturday Night, a breezy joy pairing Sidney Poitier (who also directs) and Bill Cosby as pals out to recover a stolen wallet and the winning lottery ticket it holds. Henry Belafonte, Richard Pryor and Flip Wilson are also in this "fast, funny immensely likable film" (Chicago Daily News). It's Poitier and Cosby again in A Piece of the Action, portraying wily crooks who rip off the rip-off artists exploiting the poor. James Earl Jones is the cop who pushes the duo to give time to ghetto kids or do time in the pen. Join the fun as these reluctant Robin Hoods get hip to giving instead of taking! The DVD is a Double Sided Disc.

2 the hard way ;-) 5
I grew up watching these two. this was a treat to find it on DVD. I love a piece of the action!! buy them both!

Great Deal 5
I bought this for my mother for Christmas because she grew up on these movies and always loves watching them. I loved how you got two movies for a great price. The picture is excellent but my mother didn't understand that you had to flip the disc over to see the other movie. The handling of those kinds of discs can get tricky.

Double DVD Review5
I love both of these movies and the fact that they come on the same DVD is great.
